Ex-cop Cat O'Connor is bored working for her sister, Chloe, as a
personal assistant on the set of her soap opera. Until Chloe gets an
opportunity to audition for the role of a lifetime and asks her
identical twin to substitute for her on the soap with no one the wiser.
It's a perfect switch-until Cat attracts the attention of the
mysterious Mr. Tall, Dark, and Way-too-handsome leading man.

Grayson Alexander never thought being snowbound in the charming town of
Christmas, Colorado, for the holiday would get so hot. But between
working with sexy, tough Cat on set and keeping his real reason for
being there under wraps, he's definitely feeling the heat. And if
there's one thing they'll learn as they bring out the mistletoe, it's
that in this town, true love is always in season

Excerpt

Chloe narrowed her eyes at Cat. "You're
acting like a cop. All tense, looking around as if someone's going to
leap out at us at any moment."
That was the thing about Chloe. She
acted like an airhead, but she wasn't. She was smart. She read body
language almost as well as Cat. "I told you to stop watching Criminal
Minds before you go to bed. It makes you jumpy the next day."
Cat focused on relaxing the muscles in
her neck and shoulders as she rounded the corner to . . . Chloe's
dressing room door was ajar.
"I'm not jumpy . . . What are--"
"Quiet," Cat whispered, her forearm
across Chloe's chest as she gently shoved her against the wall. "Stay
here." She went to reach for her gun, then decided to check out the
situation first. If she could avoid drawing her weapon, so much the
better. She didn't have a permit to carry concealed in California, and
Chloe would wonder why she was armed.
Cat crept toward her sister's dressing
room and slowly inched the door open. A tall man, his dark wavy hair
curling at the collar of his expensive black suit, stood beside the
coffee table with his back to her.
"Take one more step toward me, Cat, and
I'll shoot you," he said in a smooth baritone.
When he moved his arm as though to reach
for something in his jacket, Cat launched herself across the room and
took him down. His well-developed muscles rippled beneath her fingers
as she pushed her hands into the wide expanse of his back.
He fell forward, his forehead bouncing
off the arm of the club chair at the same time a cat, it's white hair
standing on end, hissed and flew at her. Startled, Cat jerked back,
raising an arm to push the animal away. The thought that the man might
have been threatening the cat, and not her, crossed her mind. But it
didn't explain why he'd broken into her sister's dressing room.

I loved Skye Warren's Beauty series and His For Christmas and her writing is excellent but this just is too dark for me. I know it is branded as dark erotica and I thought that I would take a chance on the novella / prequel to the series...

Even though the world this book is based in consists of elves and are one of my favorite character races to read about (which was why I got excited and picked up this prequel) reading this did not make me want to run out and grab the fir...
